After acknowledging Caroline’s win on the show with professional partner, Pasha Kovalev, comedian Mo asked Eamonn if he watches it.

The This Morning presenter replied: “My darling wife watches it. They have this thing where when they’ve taken part in it, they get addicted to it and they all become friends. They set up a Whats App group and whatever.”

“I know you direct message people but, to me it’s just like texting,” Ruth said.

“If you say, ‘Oh, I saw so-and-so did a new show or something. I must send them a message,’ if you didn’t have their mobile number, you would probably direct message them. So I don’t have a problem with that.”

Eamonn proceeded to say he would innocently message people on Twitter but wouldn’t inform his wife.

“And I wouldn’t tell you if I’m doing that because you would be suspicious if I did tell you,” he said, turning to Ruth.
